Bold in Maui.

While in Hawaii- all you felt like wearing were your most favorite summer staples ( comfy tees, cut off shorts, pretty dresses and two piece bandeau bathing suits!) .. as I packed my summer staples, I also had to pack bold color pieces… I mean it was only appropriate! So I made sure to throw my fave bold colored pieces into my suitcase because I knew the Maui backdrop would be the perfect complement.

As someone who has always had a tanned skin complexion, I’ve been more drawn to wearing brighter, bolder, fun colored pieces ever since I can remember! I guess it just made me feel like my skin would stand out against those pretty hues like coral, teal, and neon yellow or chartreuse.

ps. Let me know if you guys would like to see a Polyvore set/collage like the one above (once or twice a week) after my outfit photos inspired by that day’s look….similar to this post! Leave a comment with yay or nay!

Love the outfit! The color definitely does pop against your tan skin. And I love how you made it so casual with the shorts and sneakers! Great look. I love polyvore! I have my own account and it’d be awesome to see your polyvore sets with your outfits! totally in love with the set for this outfit and contest

Great outfit, love your shorts and I love the Polyvore collage, I think it would be great if you made one every week, it kind of puts everything together to create an inspiration board..love it. By the way, I tried to use Polyvore a few months ago and just could not figure it out. How do you add pictures to the collage??

i love the colour of that top, and it looks fantastic on you! i love bold colours but am always wary of how they look on me because i am ridiculously fair-skinned, like practically transparent. but i’ve recently just thought ‘who cares’ and have been wearing them anyway! life is too short haha xxx

I love your outfit, it has an effortless and stylish feel. As someone with an olive complexion I too agree that bold colors look great against deep skin tones, although my summer glow is quickly fading. The ombre hair looks great on you too! Yay to the Polyvore collages, and if your in the mood for some blog surfing, check out my blog
